A 5.0 g sample of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2, M = 164) contaminated with silica (SiO2, M = 60.1) is found to contain 1.0 g calciu m. What is the mass percent purity of calcium nitrate in the sample?
1 answer:
Answer:
= 82%
Explanation:
Percentage purity is calculated by the formula;
% purity = (mass of pure chemical/total mass of sample) × 100
In this case;
1 mole of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g
but; 164 g of Ca(NO3)2 = 40 g Ca
Therefore; mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 /40
= 4.1 g
Thus;
% purity of Ca(NO3)2 = (Mass of Ca(NO3)2/ mass of the sample)× 100
= (4.1 g/ 5 g) × 100
= 82%

Answer:
<u><em>Hydroxylation
</em></u>
Explanation:
Hydroxylation is a chemical process that introduces a hydroxyl group (-OH) into an organic compound. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.
